this.) That's why this evening I am also... officially challenging Crooked Joe to an 18-hole golf match — right here, on Doral's Blue Monster, considered one of the greatest tournament golf courses anywhere in the world one of the Great Courses of the world. It will be among the most watched sporting events in history maybe bigger than the Ryder Cup or even the Masters, and I will even give Joe Biden 10 strokes a side — 10 strokes, that's a lot, that means 20 strokes, in case you don't play golf —I will give him 10 strokes a side, and if he wins, I will give the charity of his choice any charity that he wants $1 million, and I'll bet you he doesn't take the offer, I would bet, because he's all talk, but what that match will do is prove that Joe is in fact all talk and no action...."
That's talk from Donald Trump, at the Doral golf resort in Florida, which he owns.

Bluff called…
We will be invited to focus on Trump’s unpresidential behavior and not on Biden’s. I will decline the invitation.
There's one huge reason why Biden would not accept the golf challenge, apart from the obvious ones.
To play golf with/against Trump would normalize him in the view of the audience. It would be as if Biden would agree to meet Trump for dinner somewhere, or anything where Trump would be humanized. That would get Biden thrown off from the Democrat nomination quicker than anything.
Didn’t Biden say during the debate that he’s a better golfer than Trump?
Biden challenged Trump to play and carry his own bag, as if Biden could do that himself. The challenge was just so full of testosterone, it was ridiculous. And Trump was the one who said “Let’s not act like children”. Ha.
The Althouse tags to this blog post tell the whole story in condensed form. A classic of the genre.
The Blue Monster has seen so many renovations by so many different architects. Hanse wrecked what was good about it…
The resort is flawed too. Trump org did what they could with what they had but it probably should have been leveled when they wrecked the golf course…
It's just fun...while the ship sinks.
I suggested this, on the Althouse blog!
Trump's a reader. I knew it.
Pee in a cup before the golf game.
The Doral Blue Monster is a 4.25 mile walk. We know Trump has been practicing, but has he been practicing carrying his own bag?
Trump will make up that million and more by hosting the venue. ABC/Disney should offer a neutral location and front the purse for donation.

What's your point? Don't forget it was Joe's challenge to Trump, not the other way round, just like the debate: "Make my day, Pal." LOL
1. Joe can't even practice walking without a minder, a map and a photo of his destination.
2. You can do fairly well with three clubs if necessary, and no doubt Trump could carry those.
3. Joe would have extreme difficulty even carrying a putter and a ball with him, much less swinging.
Are you NOT entertained???
How is "Sleepy Joe" better than "Slow Joe"?
Rhyming is always better than not rhyming.
Ali is still the greatest!
Serious decline in the insult quality.
He's giving him 20 strokes!
You can't brag about your golf and then run away from $1 million.
Unless you're a phony and a fraud.
Just Trump reminding people- even those voting for him- about his annoying side. He cannot help himself. It just has to come out eventually.
Another example of how alike Biden and Trump are. Much of this national nightmare we are experiencing is because of a "pi**ing contest" between two old men. (And it continues because of some younger men - and women - chose to take sides). I agree with the Parkinson doctor from Dayton who is in the news. Why, with the population of the US, have we ended up with these 2 men again???
I am soon to be 69 and the youngest in a large family. We can't get through a family dinner without hearing "what's the word I am looking for?". Forgetting is normal. Covering it up/pretending it doesn't exist is what leads to problems. I had hoped getting more women in leadership roles in politics would make it better, but the name women politicians seem to seek conformity to an even greater degree.

Left Bank is still convinced there is a pony under all that Biden horseshit!
LBOC, do YOU think Biden is capable of walking the first couple holes carrying his own bag?
Coupled with his idiotic comment yesterday, I think LBOC may be the archetype of the kind of moron the FJB campaign is targeting with their shoddy propaganda. It's like the movie 'Centipede' with the LBOCs of this world sewing their mouths to the Democrat's asshole voluntarily.
Sad.

I think Trump timed this quite well. Questions about Biden’s mental acuity are now well known, even among those who didn’t and don’t watch debates. Attempts to “put a lid” on the issue are gaining a little space, so it’s time to raise the issue again. Too bad for Team Biden that he brought up the golf game, too, because that does have potential to drive attention and excitement during the dog days of summer. I’m pretty sure Biden’s not up to making his way from the clubhouse to the first tee without assistance.
Trump never walks the course. He always uses a golf cart. When I golf I always walk. Playing 18 holes is pretty good exercise if you walk and carry your own clubs.

Think Biden's up for it? He certainly implied that he was.
Biden is pissing on and telling us its raining the inflation the wars the persecution of law abiding citizens
Is that an actual quote from Trump, or something Althouse wrote to mimic Trump? I can't tell the difference.
Whoo hoo!! Caddyshack in real life! Who's going to throw the Baby Ruth into the pool when Kamala goes for a swim?!

So Trump just challenged Biden to a golf match. The Biden team responded mocking it and claims Biden “doesn’t have time” for these “weird antics.”
But it was actually *Biden* who initially challenged Trump at the debate to play golf with him!
https://x.com/RNCResearch/status/1810848196815638560
Only the genuinely retarded would challenge Trump to a physical contest weeks after Biden proves he was very old and frail. It won't matter if they give Biden a space age golf bag, he won't be able to tote that thing. Without minders, he might not be able to play a hole of golf.
It's a STUPID bluff, and Trump called it in signature style.
The Biden team responded mocking it and claims Biden “doesn’t have time” for these “weird antics.”
Doesn't have time for $1 million to charity?
Doesn't have time for a campaign event?
Can't play golf with Parkinson's.
I don't play golf. I have enough handicaps.
Biden brought up golf at the debate.
Trump is trolling him. Awesome. Much deserved.
Let's see..... One rich old guy with phoney white hair, and another rich old guy with loud clothes and no respect for posers.
Serious question, does anyone think Biden could carry a bag of clubs for 18 holes? Anyone?
I honestly don’t think he’d make it from the clubhouse to the first tee. I think he’s that frail. Be fun to watch tho…
I still like the pushup idea I suggested last week better.
See buddy Hackett duck story on Carson.
But it's not very presidential.
This is a close second
I hope Joe accepts
John Henry
"Serious question, does anyone think Biden could carry a bag of clubs for 18 holes? Anyone?"
Of course he can. As KJP said yesterday in response to the 11pm nukes incoming question, "He has a team!"
The debate was a fair way to judge the relative mental acuity of the two contestants. A golf match would be a fair way to judge the relative physical stamina of the two contestants. I don't think Biden is anywhere near as good a golfer as Trump, but if he can complete eighteen holes of golf that would be reassuring to many......I like the idea, and Trump is right. It would be bigger than the Thrilla in Manilla. Still, there's a part of me that's alienated from a candidate who speculates about ratings and putting on a really, big show.
Trump the Insult Comedian.
P0TATUS Biden better bring his Big Boy driver!
“He has a team that will wake him up…”
—- the Woeful KJP

Not to throw you under the bus specifically but I'm disturbed by people who prefer their politics be opaque and sinister instead of enjoying of the overt, bombastic, tongue in cheek variety.
Oxford debate used to rely heavily on humor and cheeky chirping. Effective...
The only thing that would have made this challenge even funnier would have been for Trump to offer Biden the contest at Grande Oaks Golf Club not far from Ft. Lauderdale.
I doubt either man could simply carry a full golf bag the 4+ miles in the July southern Florida sunshine, and this is without playing the holes- but Trump could surely at least walk from the first tee to the second tee- Biden would, at best, slice off into the woods and get eaten by a gator.
If one of Biden's inner staff wants him gone, all he/she has to do is use Biden's twitter feed to accept this challenge with a "Game on, Fat!"
Biden takes a week off to prep for the debate.
At the debate, after brain freeze and beating Medicare, Biden brags about his golf game.
Then runs away from a $1 million.
Note that Biden doesn't have to put up any money! It's $1 million versus zero.
Play golf and win? $1 million for charity, and put all those health concerns to bed.
Play golf and lose? You don't lose anything, except your pride, your dignity, and the White House.
You are desperate and you can play golf to get out of the hole you dug for yourself.
And you chicken out.
Say it ain't so, Joe!
What's your handicap?
Sounds good so long as Trump supplies the golf balls. No Chinese golf balls allowed.
Trump is so self-destructive.
He should be claiming the center.
"We all agree Biden is not up to the job (except for some fanatical diehards). It would be cruel to point this out further. I am now the only viable candidate in the election. I know there are many centrist Democrats who feel betrayed (which they were), so I am reaching out them. All the rhetoric about the end of democracy is the rambling of an angry old man in the Oval Office. I'm not the one trying to put the leading candidate for president in jail. I'm not an extremist on abortion. I'm not the one with a vice-president sympathetic to anti-semites. It's time to end the craziness. I will not seek revenge, I will not jail all the people who lied to us about Biden's condition and put our country at risk. It's time to end the craziness."
Joe allegedly once played golf when he was president.
No word on how bad he did.

No, it really is not. It's better than sitting on the couch, I'll give you that.
The tone policing in the comment section here section is already at an alarming level and it's still early yet.

No one asked you, old harpy, and if Trump was stupid enough to say this I wouldn't bother voting. The people responsible for the current state of affairs need to pay.
remember a few years back?
there was a poster here (i'm pretty sure he got banned) who'd REPEATEDLY claim that he'd love to:
CHALLENGE TRUMP TO A ROUND OF GOLF.. FOR ONE MILLION DOLLARS!
and that, The ONLY REASONS WHY it never happened was that:
a) he didn't have a million dollars.. in fact was in debt up to his eyeballs and could Barely afford gin*
b) he didn't play golf, because of his ineptitude and his alcoholism
c) he could only get up in the morning to stagger to bar for his gin
afford gin* remember when he agreed to not post for a month, IF ONLY someone would but him a bottle?
"The people responsible for the current state of affairs need to pay."
If the people responsible for the current state of affairs suffer no consequences for their actions, there is nothing to stop them from engaging in similar shenanigans in the future except their consciences. And at this point, it has not been demonstrated that they have them.
The way to "end the craziness" is for the penalties for perpetrating such to be painful enough that even an imbecile would know not to engage in it.

It seems like your undying preference for DeSantis is showing. First, I sincerely doubt he even plays golf in the most golf-centric state in the country; as Sundance has pointed out at the Conservative Treehouse, he has been running for president since at least 2018, with the backing and support of globalist donors and the GOPe. Second, it was brain dead Biden who brought up golfing. Trump merely called his bluff, and rightly so. Third, what the fuck is so ”annoying” about Trump doing so? The former NYer in me fully agrees with the way Trump handled this. I’m tired of all you “Peggy Noonan” Republican pearl clutchers. Get on board or go Dem; we don’t care and Trump will win with our enthusiasm and support overcoming the perfidy and fraud of the Dems (with the implicit support of the Swamp RINOs). Cheers!
Wonderful gambit by trump. Look at me, I'm offering to play the guy at Golf and give him 20 strokes. Just me and Good Ol' Joe. It'd be great.
Meanwhile, Biden is trying to put Trump in Jail, and Biden has gotten his DOJ to put numerous former Trump official in jail over contempt of congress and other minor BS acts. Biden's also refused to envoke "Executive Priviliage" for trump's records - which is against all tradition and norms. Not to mention calling Trump a nazi and supporting civil suits against him.
But Trump doesn't hate. Its "Hey you and me play some Golf".
IOW, Biden is a mean vindictive asshole. He wont play Trump in Golf because he'd lose and everyone would see he's a basket case. But this wont stop Biden from shouting how he could beat Trump and "C'mon man, I'm the best".

If Trump really wanted to be mean, he'd point out that DeSantis endorsed the PGA and the "9/11 Families" a few days before the PGA cut a deal with the Saudis. LOL doesn't even cover it. RDS stans are in no position to advise Trump about golf!
3. Joe would have extreme difficulty even carrying a putter and a ball with him, much less swinging.

I was going to suggest check FJB nappies for extra cheat balls!

I like the golf idea. At 81, I could carry for 18. Probably shoot somewhere between 80 and 110, depending on punitive degree of course/rough and mood of my putter.
Biden, I'd bet, would be a TKO on the first hole.
Better yet - challenge Joe to take the needle along with Trump at the debate venue. Trump should offer $5 million to either, Joe's charity OR Joe's campaign if he gives the blood.
Release complete results at end of the debate and let the talkies and scribblers go wild :-)
1. Maybe Biden can find CornPop and get him to caddy for the current president, cause he's "a bad dude".
2. Trump didn't go after anyone in his first term (except for using the bully pulpit against his AG at the time) in actuality. He took the "high road". Look what that got him. He needs to put the people who broke the law, not the fake or manipulated ones that they trying to get him with, in jail after a fair trial. That the bribery in the Hunter/Big Guy Biden and Biden Crime Family cases is so flagrant and plainly visible for anyone to see (or if we had a media that wasn't 90% in bed with liberals and the Dem party in particular), goes unprosecuted, is madness. How many people have died because Biden is paying Ukraine to cover up his receiving bribes and paybacks.
3. I want Biden to stay in the race. IMHO, I think there are many Dem voters who will choose not to make a choice in the presidential race because of Biden. If he is replaced, I believe they will vote for the replacement. Better to have them sit out.
This is the most important presidential election in since I first got the vote and voted (sigh) for John Anderson.
Combine the golf game with the debate. Before each tee-off, there's a 10-minute debate on a subject selected by either Biden or Trump. They alternate who makes the selection; Biden on odd holes and Trump on even holes. Four minutes each followed by 1-minute conclusions.

Acceptance is the first step to recovery.

THE NORMS == what about hushed quiet on golf course while addressing ball?
Just keep the pre-teen girls away from the golf course, or Slow Joe’s putter will start to flutter.
We know Trump has been practicing, but has he been practicing carrying his own bag?
He doesn't practice. He plays. Unless you're a pro playing practice rounds, you practice on the range and the putting green.
Now, do Biden.

Nah. The handlers will simply use Oddjob.
I'm not a golfer -- I wish I were. Many of my friends are golfers. It's clearly a good activity for oldsters to get off and get some competitive exercise together with friends. My impression is that regular golfers don't play "killer" golf.
So here's my proposal: Mr. Trump please revise your "challenge" to Pres. Biden to an "invitation" to Pres. Biden to play a round of golf with you at your very fine Country Club, and Pres. Biden, please demonstrate your willingness to accept the invitation. No money need change hands -- after all, neither of you are pros (golfers, that is).
$1 million for charity? Don't forget 10% for the big guy.
This is becoming the cripple fight on South Park between Timmy and Jimmy.

When your'e sundowner Joe, and can't "work" more than 10Am to 3 PM, and at that regularly have to take days off to "recover" from that schedule, you certainly don't have time for golf.
So, thank you Biden Team, for reminding us how little Joe can actually do
$1 million to charity but only if Biden wins. Kind of chintzy. The challenge should have been $100 million to charity if Joe Biden shows up for the match. And the offered stakes should have been that the loser drops out of the race. That would get some attention.

What a buffoon you are.
Dementia-Glitch kicked off the challenge with multiple insults. Have you criticized Dementia-Glitch for that?
No. Of course not.
Trump meanwhile ups the stakes in orders of magnitude more meaningful ways, which you then claim is not enough.
Anything stopping Dementia-Glitch from offering the terms you recommend?
Nope.
Did he do it?
Nope.
Did you criticize Team Dementia-Glitch for that?
Nope.
How many billionaires lined up on Team Dementia-Glitch? About a zillion you say? Any of them step up with order of magnitude improvement on the challenge?
Nope.
And, naturally, what's the very "best" part of LBoC BS comment? This right here: "$1 million to charity but only if Biden wins."
Gee, do you think it might be relevant to recall Trump offered Dementia-Glitch "10 strokes per side" advantage to start with!
LBoC appears desperate to join gadfly in Idiot Corner.
